APIs

1️⃣ Authentication API here

All accounts use Auth0 for authentication. Auth0 provides us with authentication & authorization services and help keeps our app secured.

2️⃣ Payment API here

Stripe API We intend to implement Stripe into our app in a future product cycle. This will allow us to include the ability to subscribe and pay for access to premium apps.

3️⃣ Environment Variables

In order for the app to function correctly, the user must set up their own environment variables. There should be a .env file containing the following:

* REACT_APP_CLOUDINARY_URL - Our personal URL that we upload the images to.
* REACT_APP_CLOUDINARY_UPLOAD_ PRESET - Consists of upload parameters centrally managed using the Admin API.
* REACT_APP_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID - Is assigned to you by Auth0 upon account creation.
* REACT_APP_OAUTH_DOMAIN - Is assigned to you by Auth0 upon account creation.

4️⃣ Content Licenses

5️⃣ Testing

For testing, we are using Cypress.io. Cypress.io responds and reloads in real time, automatically waits for the DOM to load before testing, the errors are easy to debug, and the documentation is clear.

6️⃣ Installation Instructions

Run yarn install after cloning.

Other Scripts

* build - creates a build of the application
* start - starts the production server after a build is created
* test - runs tests in **tests** directory \* eject - copy the configuration files and dependencies into the project so you have full control over them
* eject - moves create-react-app’s config files and start/build/test scripts into the app directory.
